Shelburne Library news What a beautiful weekend… lots to be thankful for besides the weather; friends and family and so much more. I spent my weekend splitting wood and about two bush cords later, there was the satisfaction of being ready for the winter ahead. I must admit, I only had time to read one book…The Cookbook Collector by Alegra Goodman. It was a great read for late evenings… relaxing, light romance and interesting facts about old, seriously old cookbooks and recipes. Children's and Teens Programs Our Children's Story time is running as usual on Fridays at 10:30 a.m.; Lego Club is on Wednesdays at 3:30 p.m. and out Teen programs on Thursdays at 6 p.m. Do drop in to any of these age appropriate programs and enjoy the activities and fun times. NEW! Spanish Classes Our first Spanish class was last week and it was really great. We are excited to have the opportunity to offer these classes for travelers. The classes will be at the library on Tuesdays, at 7 p.m. We have an excellent Instructor, Lisa Garber and are looking forward to offering these classes for the next 10 weeks. There will be a cost involved so please call the library for more information. 519 925-2168 More Library news We have actually started dismantling the Children's library room to get it all ready for our new improved and expanded Children's Library. We are very excited and I know everyone will be delighted when it is finally finished. No definite date but think, New year, new possibilities! Library Literary Event, November 9, at 2 p.m. Close to our commemoration of Remembrance day, we are fortunate to have, Hugh Brewster is coming to speak about his latest book, From Vimy to Victory. Some of you will have heard him speak before and the talk is geared for all ages. Last time we had a busload of students from Primrose Public School and they really found the presentation meaningful. This will be an excellent family and adult outing to remember our veterans. Hugh is also the author of At Vimy Ridge, On Juno Beach and Dieppe. With photographs, remastered footage and expert commentary, he tells the story of the Canadians in World War I and brings to life the names now etched on monuments from Ypres and Vimy Ridge to the Hundred Days when Canadians were the shock troops leading the Allies to one victory after another to final victory in Mons. Suitable for all ages. Please call the library to register. 519-924-2168 Silent Auction: November 29, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. You should see some of the beautiful items we have received already for our Silent Auction.
